A push shovel assembly facilitates pushing snow in a desired direction by permitting limited pivoting of a shovel blade in a selectable direction left or right during use. The assembly includes a blade and a pair of arms. Each arm has a lower end pivotally coupled to the blade. Each of a pair of wheels is rotatably coupled to an associated one of the arms. A brace is pivotally coupled to and extends between the arms. Each of a pair of stop pins is coupled to the brace proximate an associated one of the arms wherein pivoting of the brace relative to the arms is restricted by each stop pin when each stop pin abuts the associated arm.
